So, I’m trying to get my ajax alarm to show up properly in Home Assistant. I’ve configured the SIA integration, added the necessary parameters in Ajax Hub under monitoring station:
IP: HA
Port: 12312 (not in use)
Alarms are sent over ethernet
Periodic test: 1 minute
Connect on demand: enabled
Object Number: AAA
No encryption (for now)
In HA I set:
Port: 12312
Protocol: TCP
Account ID: AAA
No encryption
Ping interval: 1 min
Number of zones: 1
After this I have 6 devices and 5 entities in SIA.
AAA (device + 5 entities)
AAA - power (device + entity)
AAA - connectivity (device + entity)
AAA - zone 1 - alarm (device + entity)
AAA - zone 1 - moisture (device + entity)
AAA - zone 1 - smoke (device + entity)
For power, connectivity and alarm I get intermittent results. Very often they go to ‘unavailable’.
For all others I only get an unknown. The status never changes.
Running HA 2023.5.2
Is there a way to get this info? Is there a way to get the other info that Ajax has (temperatures, door sensors, states of all the individual components, …) into HA? Or is this just not possible until we get a full API integration?
Another one: what is this number of zones? The amount of rooms I defined in Ajax?
Number of zones is depending on your local configuration (In Ajax app the option “Groups” to create multiple zones. When groups are not activated, then the default zone is Zone 1.
Status signal should be (near) real time when using the SIA plugin. When you watch the Developers option, do you see any changes or additional options? See example:
Has anyone got the SIA integration to work with any other than Ajax? I have a Dahua alarm system that supports SIA-DC09 but not get any joy getting it to work with this integration. Any tips on troubleshooting?
Ahh, having issues with the SIA integration with my Ajax system. It states “unavailable” in HA, while it is connected in the Ajax app… I’ve tried re-installing the integration - but no luck. I’m running 2023.10.1, no encryption in Ajax… Any good ideas on how to resolve?
I did get it up and running again - but to be honest, not sure exactly what solved it. I did remove and and the integration - but initially this did not solve the issue. But all of the sudden things worked again…
I want to share this with you in case it helps. I have an Ajax alarm, and as you know, it cannot be integrated with Home Assistant. However, I listen to SIA events through the Node-RED integration. This way, I can create these automations. My code is in Spanish:

i have a ajax alarm. After setup, i find only “myport - myid - zone 1 alarm” and power and connetivity. But i don’t understand how can use sia code for read door sensor and other entity. can i deceive a standard setup file??
From the last Ajax firmware update or ha update, the sia connection is unstable.
Even if Connect on demand → OFF, it is connected but not give right state of alarm…
I wrote Ajax and they checked remotely my alarm system.
Ajax say that is a hub firmware bug (2.19.0), that will be correct on 9/3/2024 with new release.
